Chapter 170: Sweep And Move
The sweep was fast, with sporadic pistol fire as they moved through the defeated infantry. The detonation of the powder wagon had destroyed most of the enemy force’s supplies, but the unit managed to come back with what looked like an entire truck worth of field rations.
They were only two days out of the Palace, so they didn’t have a lot of room, but all the crates were quickly strapped to the outside or roof of the trucks, and they were moving again, headed inland.
"The survivors went straight west. They’re unlikely to come across the first battlefield, but we looted this one as well." Commander Dax reported.
"Excellent work. Let’s find a safe spot to sleep for the night, and let the Dagos Army wonder why their team isn’t reporting in." Alexis agreed.
"Aren’t they just too poorly armed?" Dominic asked as they moved out of the ruins, looking for somewhere as good that wasn’t next to a fresh battlefield.
Alexis shrugged. "They’re traditionally armed. I don’t think that Dagos can actually afford to supply them all with magitech, so they’re sending them as heavy infantry, like they did a hundred years ago.
It worked well enough then, and for the most part, it will work now.
But not against riflemen."
A thousand kilometres to their southwest, stopped at Staptontave, just inside the Dagos borders, Prince Kaizon was fuming.
The unit that he had sent to find Princess Alexis had been massacred, and the tracking spell which should have been triggered when her location was verified had never been used.
